Pumpkins after Halloween, faces caved-in, turning brown
A January Christmas tree, at the rainy curbside now
A drunken message that's re-read, hungover, next day in bed
Now just a corpse we tried to shock back to life but there's no luck
Oh, ...... But I still feel the same
Oh, ...... But something has completely changed
An awkward joke that doesn't land, a punchline no one understands
A friendship ended after years, when laughter couldn't stop your fear
Nothing to be said at all, the poison underneath came up
And I will not swallow it, won't hold your pain while you give up
Oh, ...... And I still feel the same
A small car gets hit by a van
"Thank God the pastor's wife survived
for every life God has a plan"
The other family died on site
But walkin' on this sunny day
Through the foothills and I see
A single leaf fall from a tree
yellow, twirling, silently
And I know there's more to this
because there's nothing left to be
And I don't know anything
so I feel completely free
Oh, ......
You waited so long for the pitch, just to swing and then to miss
And it is not "the thought that counts," when you see their face turned down
But take it with a grain of salt, freedom is your own damn fault
'Cause that's the way you wanted it
So come on, now, it's time to live!
Oh, ...... The trees still look the same
Oh, ...... But they've completely changed
"Freedom is your own damn fault, catchy
